LESSON I

A. Read it and learn it!

Countries, Nationalities, and Languages

One big vocabulary and pronunciation problem in English is knowing

how to pronounce the English names of countries,
nationalities, and languages. In today’s lesson, I’ve organized the words into
categories that can help you remember them better.

You can also practice your pronunciation of the country and nationality words.

South Africa South African Afrikaans, English, etc.

United States American** English

Uruguay* Uruguayan* Spanish

 Venezuela Venezuelan Spanish
* There are two ways to pronounce the syllable: GWAY (like “way”) and GWAI
(like “eye”).
**Although “American” is the most common way to refer to someone from the
U.S., I recognize that this can be considered offensive to citizens of other
countries in North America, Central America, and South America. So sometimes
it’s better to say “from the U.S.” instead of “American.”

There are two possible ways to learn someone’s place of birth.

Formal: What’s your nationality?

The word "nationality" usually appears in formal written English; for example in
travel industry.

Note: though we use the word "nationality" in formal question forms, the answer
doesn't include it.

We don’t say my nationality is American.

Instead, we say I’m American.
Informal: Where are you from?

This is a more common way in spoken English.

Note:

Both in written and spoken English there are two ways to tell your place of birth.

To be + from + country
I am from England.

To be + Nationality
I am English.

Travel

A. Read the passage and figure out the bold words!

Exotic Adventure

I’m always dreaming of my next far-off, exotic destination. I’ll go anywhere

as long as it’s adventurous.
Last year I chartered a boat with a friend to sail around the Greek Islands.
In the afternoons, we’d pull into ports, dive into the water, enjoy dinner on
the beach and then head back to the boat for the night. On really warm
nights we actually sleep right on the deck under the stars.
What’s next? I don’t know. Maybe Colombia, Peru, or Chile? I’ve never
been to South America and I love the idea of spending time in the Andes
Mountains. Hiking in the middle of nowhere, you know what I mean?
Those kinds of places give you such a better perspective on life. It’s easy
to forget we’re all just a tiny piece of this earth.
Or maybe Thailand? That’s another of my bucket list destinations.

Lars: Tina, I'm trying to fill out this job application, and they want to know about
my educational history. It's a little confusing because I don't understand the

they are using. I don't really know much about the American educational system.

Tina: In America, all students basically study the same thing until they are
around 18. After high school, students have the choice to start working or to go
to college.

acrobats, trapeze artists and contortionists.

ENTERTAINING MOVIES
A. Take a look to the movie posters
 B. Read the Passage bellows and Find the meaning of the bold words

Movie

In a celebrity-obsessed world, actors are as famous as politicians (maybe

even more so!) We like to see our favourite actors playing a character –
even a minor character – in films, whether these are in lead roles ,
or supporting roles . Every year, the Oscars gives awards to lead
actors and supporting actors, but never to the extras. We like reading the
film credits, firstly to see who’s in the cast and if there’s a special
appearance by a famous actor who’s only in the film for a couple of
minutes. Then we like to see who the director or producer is, the screenwriter who
wrote the screenplay and who composed the soundtrack. We’ll read film reviews to
find out more about the plot and how good
the lighting, cinematography or costumes are. We might even watch a trailer to see
the special effects.

“get.”
